Damn straight. They thought that the Kinect would be the wave of the future, that it would crush the Wii and Move so easily. Now people are laughing at it and how idiotic people look playing it and they find out it's not really for them but is an overgrown Fisher Price like toy for children, soccer moms and for twelve year old girls.Meanwhile us Move owners will be playing both casual and hardcore well into next year, while Kinect owners will still be waiting for hardcore games and games ...
Xof that is the biggest pile of crap i have ever heard in my life. And look at the idiots agreeing with you and giving you bubbles. Things like Halo and Gears and Alan Wake are not worth getting into. They are the same shooters that have been made for the last few years with a story tacked on. I agree that Heavy Rain's story wasn't perfect but I would rather sit and listen to them then to listen to the one liner, juvenile,emotionless garbage that spews from these so called 'charac...
The PS3 is a powerhouse that is ahead of it's time. The Xbox 360 is a play it safe console just like the Wii is. GT5 and Uncharted look more realistic then anything Microsoft has ever made. What is so hard to understand?
Yes. It's amazing that people who go on and on about the plot holes are the same people who games play Halo, Gears and Alan wake without even blinking an eye. What was the plot in Halo? talking plants, halos in the sky to kill humanity for what again?, good aliens, bad aliens, little 12 years old holographic girl, dwarfish aliens, Master Chef goes to sleep after saving the world? Seriously?
Yeah what is with the characters in Gears of War? People are always complaining about how characters look in games like Heavy Rain, Uncharted 2 and Fallout, but I don't think we can classify these "men" as human. I mean is this really what game designers consider to be manliness?
A game doesn't have to be serious all the way through. a little comedy relief, some well timed humor and it's fine. Despite Ratchet and Clank and Jak and Daxter getting kind of serious there was always room for jokes and humor
Sony must have threatened to destroy him. Told you not to mess with Sony. They are not Fing around
First of all it is true that they have been working on the controller at least six years ago. There is a video on youtube showing in 2004 them showing a control scheme similar to the Move. So we have no idea how far back before this video they were working on it. Secondly for my friend who posted first, Microsoft has been spewing enough $hit these days to fertilise a 100 acre farm so get lost. And finally why is it so hard to believe that they made the Move for both sides? Sony unlike the ot...
Garnett you are deluded.Cnet's half @$$ed review/impression proves nothing. Do you want to know why everyone keeps saying the lag doesn't matter? If you look at all the videos of Kinect games what do you see? Games that need no particular amout of timing and/or skill. It doesn't seem to matter that much what you do or how well you do it. You see as long as the Kinect makes games that offer not much of a challenge and makes games where you flail wildly, have simple moves or make w...
R.U.S.E is just more proof of how accurate the Move is. No matter what anyone says, it is a precision tool. With the Kinect it doesn't seem to matter that much what you do or how well you do it.
Einstein once said 'Madness is a person doing the exact same thing over and over again expecting different results'. Think he was refering to people who buy Microsoft's products. No matter how many glitches, problems, recalls happen. No matter how many lies, half truths, exaggerations they tell. No matter how inferior they look compared to the other guys people still rush out and buy everything Microsoft says is good.So to answer yor question, it's for neither. Because anyone ...
Bigpappy please. Sony and Nintendo didn't boast controllerless gaming. Microsoft did. You know what gets me? Not the fact that despite all the multiple flaws the Kinect obviously has people are still going to buy it.No It's all the crap Microsoft is spewing out and people like you are not only here with ridiculous defenses for the Kinect but have the nerve to drag the Move and Wii into it. Microsoft blatently lied and withheld information from you. If they had gone up there and said ...
Thanks again to the whinners. The same whinners who messed up Resistance. It was almost perfect and they changed it. Now they want to change KZ3's controls. I played KZ2 from beginning to end without a hitch. I haven't a clue what you idiots are talking about
The future of Kinect? You will eventually have to use a controller with it. So much for controllerless gaming
I always like it when people defend their systems and games based on the people who are stupid enough to buy it.'As long as the idiots and naive children buy it that means we win.' They talk just like the company. And even worse they are proud of being swindled. Microsoft has lied about the Kinect's capability, shown a ton of shovelware, pulled the wool over your eyes and kept information from you. And everyone still dives head first into it in the usual mindless, brainwashed fash...
So it's a review on something that isn't finished, is three and a half months away and doesn't do half the things it promised and won't anytime soon, playing unfinished games. So we are reviewing the Kinect on it's potential rather then what the finished product can do. Microsoft's @$$ must taste delicious for everyone to want to kiss it so badly. And still no video proof of it working perfectly.Hmmmmm....
And the jokes just keep on coming. If anyone really believes that Microsoft can generate a billion in revenue the first year it is out with that line up of games,with developers barely understanding the tech and with such a underwhelming,unfinished, overhyped,overpriced piece of tech, well you people who buy the Kinect are in serious trouble when Microsoft abandons it. It's like watching two trains ride towards each other at full speed on the same track. An inevitable wreck.
It's called overconfidence. Kills you every time. If the Move or Kinect start taking big chunks out of their profit he will change his tune. Pretending the competition isn't there is not wise
What about Japan? Or Greece? And BTW Atlantas is a city. Just because Atlantas is under water doesn't mean more swimming. You could remain inside the whole time
Any attempt at trying to make sense of the all the lies, half truths and nonsense Microsoft has been spewing about the Kinect is described as hate. Why even bother? Half the people who are defending it aren't even going to buy it. Let people buy the Fisher Price like,12 year old girl and soccer mom toy and cross their fingers hoping that Microsoft will bring a hardcore game before next Xmas. Meanwhile I will be enjoying playing both casual and haedcore games with my new Move controller.
